Furina's constellation changes

Based on recent leaks, officials have swapped the positions of her constellations. Here is a quick overview:

• C2 was swapped with C6
• C3 was swapped with C5

Furina's C2 provided on-field healing and temporary Hydro infusion to her normal attacks. It was considered extremely powerful and a must-unlock constellation in the community. However, the recent changes have dealt a massive blow to everyone by changing its position. Therefore, her entire constellation is now much more focused on her Elemental burst.

Furina's Elemental Burst changes

In Genshin Impact 4.2 beta, Furina's burst has received a minor buff. Her energy cost has gone down from 70 to 60, reducing her ER requirements. While her duration remains unchanged, her cooldown has been reduced from 18s to 15s, allowing more uptime on her burst.

The Skill DMG buff has received a nerf as the multiplier reduces from 31.5% HP to 20.5% HP. However, the conversion ratio of Fanfare stacks to damage increase has been increased as compensation. Overall, teams using Furina will generally build fanfare stacks faster because of her larger Elemental Skill drain and increased conversion ratio.

Lastly, all the animals summoned in her Elemental Skill have received a buff in Genshin Impact. Each of these summons absorbs 50% of an active character's health to increase their damage. As per the recent changes, the new multipliers have higher HP consumption. This implies the summons can quickly max out their off-field damage to dish out big numbers.
